I'm guessing there's still a bunch of partially filmed episodes after it, but I imagine it would be too disjointed to even try and edit the existing footage into episodes.
Interesting on Ireland's RTE, their hugely rated Late Late Show continues to be produced in their large Studio 4 at RTE, without an audience, but still with a full standing set.
I would have thought this was a waste of money for the already stretched RTE, having the studio in operation each week, even though with minimal crew and most interviews conducted via satellite or interview link, with any guest in studio sitting at a distance from each other.
RTE seem to be able to do this, but The Graham Norton Show opts to air from Graham's house. RTE seem to be spending more money than the Graham Norton Show
Well presumably the set was in place when they went into lockdown so it's easier and safer to continue using it rather than using a smaller space, and for whatever reason they've opted not to have it hosted from home.
Doing it from home is likely to involve similar levels of resources, just shifted to different roles and places.
I was just thinking having staff close together in studio could have been a problem, since the host himself contracted COVID-19 and has since recovered and is back hosting, would have given an example of how it could be a problem if they continued hosting from the studio.
Apparently Corrie has 20 episodes left. So enough until 3rd July on the current schedule.
Though I wonder if they'll change it? Emmerdale will be gone after 5th June if that Sun article is right. So do they show You've Been Framed before Corrie? Or does Corrie maybe air a double on one day, and drop the other two timeslots, which would make the show last another couple of weeks.
With access to the archive, ITV could use the gap in production of Emmerdale and Coronation Street to air some truly classic episodes of both soaps to fill the gaps.
They could pick some key stories and plots, and air them to fill the void before the soaps return with new episodes.
I know of course they air classic editions on ITV 3, but this could be a chance to go back further in the archive - especially showing how much the British public love their soaps in 2020.

I think the chances of them showing episodes from the 1960s and 1970s are slim to none and would be costly. Compilations are probably more likely and cheaper.

Can you explain to me why they are costly? I would like to understand why, as I would assume ITV own the rights. Thanks for your help.
